Simply Asia Garden Route is a bustling Thai and Asian restaurant located inside the Garden Route Mall in George. This spot draws a steady flow of locals and visitors alike, especially those who are after authentic Asian flavors without leaving town. The setting reflects a casual mall dining experience—comfortable and straightforward rather than formal—making it an easy choice for families, groups, and weekday diners stepping in for a flavorful lunch or an easy dinner.

The menu leans heavily into Thai classics and a variety of Asian noodle dishes, with highlights such as the Yaki Udon Noodles with Duck, Tom Yum Soup, and Thai Green Curry earning frequent praise. Sushi options also round out the offerings, showing versatility beyond the Thai-focused dishes. Portions suit those who want a satisfying meal without fuss, and the food’s consistent quality keeps regulars coming back. Children and noodle lovers, in particular, seem to find something they enjoy here, which adds to the family-friendly vibe.

Service can get stretched on busy Saturdays or afternoons, but the staff remain approachable and quick to assist, even when the place is full. The team’s familiarity with allergies and dietary preferences stands out, with allergen information readily available for diners who need it. Drinks like fresh coconut water complement the savory dishes with authentic touches.

Simply Asia’s location within the mall also makes it a convenient pit stop during shopping trips, supporting relaxed meals without long waits or the need for reservations. If you’re after a casual dining experience where you can sample well-prepared Thai and broader Asian dishes in an unpretentious environment, this restaurant fits the bill. Weekday lunches or early weekend dinners tend to be quieter times to visit if you prefer a calmer atmosphere, while sunny afternoons with a beer lend themselves well to a more laid-back meal.

Extremely busy day and looked like the staff couldnt get to everyone, but yet they did. We served by Shamila, very helpfull and great service and the food quality as good as ever. The children love Simply Asia since it is the restaurant with noodle flavours.

I have slipped into the habit of always stopping over ..and stepping in! The best of ‘Simply Asia ! .. including Johannesburg! The spread on offer is amazing / one notices the constant input to achieve more.. The food - needless to say, is delicious! The chefs are always doing their magic! Great pricing, good and always friendly service! A good habit of mine

Pleasantly surprised by the delicious Asian menu with all the Thai classics from pad Thai and red curry to noodles and sushi. The food was well presented, flavourful and delicious. It was nice to see how accommodating they were with my allergies and presented an allergen menu to be sure. Great Thai drinks available like coconut water. We ordered The chicken curry and noodles with peanuts and chilli and everything was so yummy!

Simply Asia In Garden Route Mall George was fabulous- We absolutely adored their Thai cuisine! During our visit, we savored their delectable sushi , indulged in the flavorful green Thai curry, paired it with fragrant rice and garlic rice, and relished the delightful Tom Yum soup. To top it off, we enjoyed this fantastic meal with some beer on a Sunday afternoon, making it a truly memorable experience.
